Chapter 240 Returning to Xuanyang as Sect Master
The spiritual world is too vast, with a huge area. Even for a Jindan cultivator, it is impossible to cross the distance between continents by flying.
Therefore, if you want to cross continents, you have to rely on the teleportation array!
Li An asked around and found out that the area he is in is called Qingyunzhou. The teleportation array is in Qingyun City, the largest city in Qingyunzhou, and is controlled by Dao Zong. If others want to use it, they need to pay Dao Zong a lot of spiritual stones!
In the spiritual world, the most popular is the top-grade spiritual stone. One top-grade spiritual stone is equivalent to one hundred top-grade spiritual stones. One is enough for Li An to practice for a month!
Top-grade spiritual stones are second, and middle-grade and low-grade spiritual stones are rarely circulated. Only some small forces and small sects will use them.
Not all forces stand tall like Dao Zong. There are also small forces like Xuanyang Sect in the spiritual world.
Li An can't help but worry. Now he is really penniless. It is too difficult to collect spiritual stones to go to Xinzhou!
To go to Xinzhou, even if you use the lowest-level teleportation array, you need two hundred top-grade spirit stones - equivalent to 20,000 high-grade spirit stones.
If it is a formation with higher confidentiality and security, the price will be unimaginable.
That is, in recent years, Xinzhou has become the latest "gold rush", and many cultivators have gone there. With more people, the price has also come down. If it was before, the price might be three or four times what it is now!
What Li An is worried about now is the spirit stones.
He is not in a hurry. While he is investigating bandits and other forces around Qingyun City, he is relying on the python in the middle stage of the true elixir to find spirit beasts, hunt spirit beasts and accumulate spirit stones.
"Big Black, hurry!"
On this day, Li An was chasing a spirit deer in the middle stage of the elixir with the big black python. Li An asked the big black python to chase in front, but he ambushed it. When the spirit deer passed by him, the spirit power turned into a long sword and chopped it out with one sword!
The spirit deer in the middle stage of the elixir died on the spot.
After collecting all the deer skin, deer bones, and deer meat, Li An lightly tapped the contents of the storage bag.
Half a year had passed, and he finally had some savings by hunting spirit beasts.
He changed into a suitable set of clothes and bought a mid-level storage bag.
"Three high-grade spirit stones, nine hundred high-grade spirit stones..."
Li An's eyes were a little complicated. He was already an extremely good hunter. He had never stopped working in the wind and rain for half a year, but he was still a long way from making enough money for the trip.
"I don't know if those robbery cultivators dare to show up this time..."
After cleaning up the scene, Li An set off with the big snake. Soon after, they arrived in a forest five hundred miles away.
Li An hid in a mud cave that had been chosen long ago.
-It took three months of constant inquiries to find out the traces of several robbery cultivators, and another three months of squatting, but those robbery cultivators did not show up once.
Li An was deeply moved. Daozhou was so big, but the public security was so good. In fact, it was really good to practice under the protection of Dao Sect.
The place where he was now was not far from the mine of a Jindan Xiuxian family in Qingyunzhou.
Li An waited here, in fact, it was also a matter of luck - every time the ore came out of the mine, he would come.
Because, according to his analysis, as long as those robbers did not leave Qingyunzhou, this place was most likely to be robbed.
However, after waiting for three months, there was no harvest.
Two months later, on this day, Li An came here as usual.
"Huh?!"
Finally, his eyes lit up. When the mine formation was opened and the ore came out, four or five rays of light rushed over from all directions of the mine, and a war broke out.
Li An stayed there, not moving at all, but using his consciousness far superior to that of ordinary people to perceive the situation on the battlefield.
Among the five evil cultivators, the strongest were two in the late Jindan stage.
When the battle was over, the five men succeeded in snatching and left separately. Li An immediately followed the weakest one among them, following for thousands of miles. The cultivator finally stopped in a deserted forest and counted his spoils, and Li An appeared quietly.
Dahei suddenly rushed out to attack, and the cultivator hurriedly resisted. At the same time, Li An shouted, and the soul-devouring sound wave skill was activated. The cultivator lost consciousness for a while, and was directly bitten off the head by Dahei!
It can be said to be very miserable.
"The sound wave skill of the Ten Thousand Souls Sect is really amazing."
Li An couldn't help but sigh.
In fact, in addition to the sound wave skill, Li An also had some knowledge of the Ten Thousand Souls Sect's most core skill "Ten Thousand Souls Sutra". Through the Ten Thousand Souls Sutra, the soul of the killed person can be forcibly bound in the body, and the resentment of the person can be squeezed to practice. In the end, like Tuoba Wanzhong, the soul skill is activated, and ordinary cultivators can hardly resist it.
But Li An still doesn't like the Ten Thousand Souls Sutra!
Tuoba Wanzhong's Ten Thousand Souls Sutra, Xie Shisi's Heaven-stealing Art, etc. are not very useful to Li An, because he mainly practices the Life-nourishing Immortal Art and the Immortal Heavenly Demon Art.
The Ten Thousand Souls Sutra, the Heaven-stealing Art, etc., are just a kind of "king's law" to say the world, while the Immortal Heavenly Demon Art is the "emperor's sutra" and the Life-nourishing Immortal Art, which is even more unfathomable.
On the contrary, he prefers some of the techniques of the major evil sects. The ones he is most proficient in now are the Soul-devouring Sound Wave Art, the Lord's Art, the Gu Art, the Evil Shadow Art, and the Four Deadly Styles of the Demon Cult.
The Soul-devouring Sound Wave Art attacks the soul, while the Lord's Art has the magical effects of hypnosis, instigation, and guidance, which makes people follow Li An's instructions unconsciously. The combination of the two is invincible. But both of these require a strong soul as the foundation, but Li An's Life-nourishing Immortal Art strengthens the consciousness, and the Immortal Heavenly Demon Art can plunder the power of others' souls, so he can use them directly!
Gu Shu, now he is successful in human Gu Shu, using the people he killed to make human Gu, which is mysterious and unpredictable. The reason why he is more successful in practicing human Gu Shu is because his Immortal Demon Art can turn people into puppets, which laid a foundation for him!
The more bizarre one is the Evil Shadow Art, which is very difficult to practice. Li An can only use the first level: Phantom!
It can be seen that the foundations of these arts are the Life-Nourishing Immortal Art and the Immortal Demon Art.
In fact, Li An has been thinking that the Immortal Demon Art has something in common with the Life-Nourishing Immortal Art to some extent. The Life-Nourishing Immortal Art can improve the soul, Yuanling, body, spiritual roots, etc., and the Immortal Demon Art can also do so. The difference is that one is moderate and peaceful, emphasizing the longevity of time and the other is fierce and cruel.
Li An used the Immortal Demon Art and human Gu Shu to cultivate this robbery into a puppet and Gu worm, searching for information from his mind.
Soon, he got what he wanted!
Because Dao Sect hunted down the robbery cultivators so ruthlessly, the life of this group of robbery cultivators was not easy. They only gathered once every two months.
The gathering place was kept secret in a series of ways.
Li An counted and found that this robbery cultivator named Yang Chen had 31 top-grade spirit stones, more than 2,000 high-grade spirit stones, and a bunch of medium-grade spirit stones. The other magic tools were all inferior.
"So poor..."
This robbery cultivator is not doing well...
...
Two months later.
On a certain mountain.
Li An looked at the five corpses on the ground, put away all the storage bags and rings on them, counted them repeatedly, and smiled with relief!
Finally gathered them together!
The five people's inventory added up to 196 top-grade spirit stones, plus his own, there were more than 270.
In addition, there were more than 13,000 high-grade spirit stones.
"It's still faster to be a robbery cultivator..."
If Li An was allowed to develop on his own, it would probably take several years to gather enough.
After cleaning up the scene, Li An immediately headed towards Qingyun City!
…
Qingyun City is a huge city with a population of over 100 million. There are many forces of all sizes in the city. The forces in the Jindan stage are the lowest level, the forces in the Yuanying stage are the middle level, and the Huashen stage can be considered a big force.
Outside Qingyun Temple, many people are already waiting in line.
There are many people going to Xinzhou!
In fact, people who go to Xinzhou now are not for the present, but for the future!
The territory of Xinzhou has all leaped from the lower realm. The Taoist resources and so on cannot be compared with the spiritual world at all. Even a big force can't look down on it.
However, with the influence of the power of the spiritual world, the land of Xinzhou will definitely achieve an overall leap in the future. The spiritual energy of the world will become more and more rich, and the spiritual veins will also grow.
It's a blue ocean!
Li An is queuing.
"Let me in, I want to find Cao Ning..."
On the other side, at the main entrance of Qingyun Temple, there was a young man in gray clothes, shouting.
"Lin Fangping, don't be shameless. You have been expelled from the Dao Sect. If you dare to shout in front of Qingyun Temple again, be careful that we will not be polite!" The other two disciples in Taoist robes stopped him. "Cao Ning, come out, Cao Ning..." The young man was still shouting. The two disciples in Taoist robes changed their faces and were about to attack him, but at this moment another young man came out and said, "Who is making a noise here!" "Cao Ning!" The young man in gray stared at the young man who just came out and said, "You are finally here!" Cao Ning said condescendingly, "What do you want from me?" "I want to see Master, I want to see him..." "Do you think you are still qualified to see him?" Cao Ning said coldly, "You violated the sect rules and dared to come here shamelessly. If you make a noise here again, I will break your legs!" "In addition, Master has I have told you to leave Qingyun City within three days. If you still stay in the city, I will kill you!"
The young man gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, okay, okay... Since Dao Zong is ruthless, forget it! forget it! forget it!"
"Return the two thousand top-grade spirit stones I borrowed from you three years ago. I will go to Xinzhou and from now on, I will sever all ties with Dao Zong!"
Cao Ning heard this, but a playful smile flashed in his eyes: "Two thousand top-grade spirit stones...Okay, I will return them to you."
After saying that, he threw out two top-grade spirit stones, which rolled down the steps onto the street. Cao Ning said, "Pick up your two thousand if you want. Anyway, I have returned it."
He smiled and turned to enter Qingyun Temple. The young man in casual clothes was stunned for a moment, and said with a bitter face: "When I was the senior brother of Qingyun Temple, everyone was willing to be friends with me and was generous. Now I have been expelled from Dao Sect, and my former best junior brother has ended the friendship between me and him with two spiritual stones... It's really ridiculous, ridiculous!"
There was a sense of sadness in his words!
But he bent down and picked up the two spiritual stones.
He was just about to leave when someone suddenly asked, "Brother, are you going to Xinzhou?"
The young man turned around and saw a burly man looking at him, saying, "Who are you?"
The burly man was Li An. He smiled and said, "You are short of money for the trip, right? I'll lend it to you."
The young man was stunned and walked over and said, "In that case, thank you very much - but I don't know what your name is and why you are willing to help me?"
Li An said, "The future of going to Xinzhou is unpredictable. I would like to make a good relationship with you. How about we help each other there?"
Li An has always been very stingy. Helping others always requires rewards. Similarly, the reason why he said he would help is because...
奇 书 网 w w w . q i s h u 9 9 . c o m
This person is not ordinary!
The moment he walked out, Shangguan Xiaoxiao noticed something and told Li An that this person... was actually a "Seven Yin Demon Body".
The Seven Yin Demon Body is one of many demon bodies. Although it is far less powerful than the natural demon body, it can also be used in the magic world.
At the same time, the Seven Yin Demon Body has another name: "Seven Yang Spirit Body".
This kind of physique cultivator is born with imbalanced yin and yang in the soul and too much yang. For the demon sect, it is a natural seedling for practicing Yin and Yang magic skills, because the yang is too strong, it can improve the effect and quality of Yin and Yang magic furnace skills.
For the righteous path, this physique is actually useful. If the souls of six Xuanyin girls are sacrificed to inject Yin into it, the spirit body can be completed, and the perception of the Tao will be far beyond that of ordinary people.
But it is a pity that he was born in the Dao Sect.
The Dao Sect has always regarded itself as a famous and upright sect in the spiritual world and the orthodox immortal way. It absolutely does not allow such things. Therefore, for the Seven Yang Spirit Body, there is generally only one choice: castration.
In simple terms, it is to cut it off and become a eunuch.
Cut off the Yang source, supplement with spiritual medicine, let the seven Yang spirit body become an ordinary physique, and practice according to the way of ordinary people.
This may be the reason why this person was expelled from the Dao Sect...
Li An is willing to take him there, mainly for two considerations.
First, if this person is still sensible, then he might as well be treated as a chess piece, a chess piece prepared for the Demon Sect!
The remnants of the Demon Sect have gradually emerged, all led by Shangguan Shengxian!
Since this person is a seven Yin demon body, he can only take the path of the Demon Sect after being expelled from the Dao Sect. He will definitely be noticed by the Demon Sect when he shows his talents in the future.
Li An has never forgotten his great enemy, Shangguan Shengxian.
His principle for enemies has always been to take revenge if possible, and if not, then treat the hatred as non-existent, and cultivation is the first priority.
But Shangguan Shengxian is different. He has murderous intentions. Although Li An may not be able to and dare not attack her for a long, long time, and may even have to stay away from her, if there is a chance to leave one or two chess pieces, he will also make a move without affecting his own safety.
Secondly, if this person repays kindness with enmity and is ungrateful, it is also very simple... refine him, refine his seven yang spiritual roots, and strengthen himself.
One of the characteristics of a natural demon body is that it can continuously strengthen itself after devouring other demon bodies!
…
"That's good--"
The young man thought for a while, did not refuse, and said: "I am Lin Fangping, what is your name?"
"Gu Chen."
Li An spoke calmly and picked a name at random.
The two exchanged a little, and in the blink of an eye, the team had lined up to them. Li An immediately took out two hundred top-grade spirit stones and 20,000 high-grade spirit stones.
The hard-working, half-year savings from hunting and robbing are almost consumed at this moment!
Heartache. But Li An still pretended to be calm.
"Huh? Lin Fangping, why are you here again..."
Inside, Cao Ning was very surprised. Lin Fangping gave him a cold look and followed Li An to the front. After checking, they found that they were not wanted criminals of the Taoist sect who had committed murder, nor were they evil cultivators, so they entered the teleportation array.
There were nearly two hundred people sitting in the teleportation array!
This was the lowest level teleportation array, which could transport two hundred people at a time. The speed was relatively slow, and the security and confidentiality were not good. If a strong person wanted to track them, they could be intercepted and killed at any time.
So it was relatively cheap.
The group waited, and when all the people arrived, the teleportation array started slowly...
The space was distorted, and the brilliant light made everyone close their eyes subconsciously.
...
Three days later.
In a continent in the southeast of the spiritual world, between the undulating mountains and rivers, in front of a Taoist temple standing in the spiritual mountains, the void suddenly trembled, and then a white light flashed.
A group of people fell out, and many of them vomited as soon as they landed.
The low-level teleportation array was very uncomfortable
The twisting force of space was transmitted to the passage from time to time, and even the cultivators could not bear it and felt dizzy.
Lin Fangping also vomited for a long time. Li An patted his back and took the opportunity to sense it. Although Lin Fangping was not turned into a eunuch, there was a crack in his dantian, and his soul had two traces of Yin Qi.
This person is not a good person. He must have harmed two spirit girls, so he was abolished and expelled from the sect.
…
The place where everyone is now is the Emperor Yuan Realm of Xinzhou, the Central Tianzhou.
Even after entering the spirit world, the major components of Xinzhou still use the old names without change. At present, Xinzhou has nine realms, which are truly vast and boundless!
The Emperor Yuan Realm was brought up by Dao Zong, so it is naturally a vassal of Dao Zong in general!
In fact, every piece of land in Xinzhou was brought up from the lower world by the major forces in the spiritual world. Although the major forces did not implement strict rule, and even had a weak presence and did not interfere too much in the affairs of Xinzhou, the division of interests was very clear.
And the master of the Taoist temple in charge of Xinzhou, Li An had also seen Zeng Xueyao!
Back then, she followed Zhan Qingxuan to the lower world.
Now Zhan Qingxuan has rebelled against the Taoist sect. In the Taoist sect turmoil more than ten years ago, her identity as the descendant of the evil king was finally exposed. She contacted many evil demons in Xuangui Peak and created an opportunity for the evil king to escape...
Although Zeng Xueyao had nothing to do with the evil king, she was close to Zhan Qingxuan. Now she was exiled here from the main sect of the Taoist sect, and she should have been implicated in that incident.
Li An and Lin Fangping left the Taoist temple and went down the mountain. "Daoyou, I've learned that the most peculiar thing in the Diyuan Realm is the Xiling Secret Realm in Xiling Yuanzhou. There were once amazing things there. I plan to explore it. What do you think?"
Lin Fangping spoke, obviously, he was well prepared.
Li An also nodded, "Okay."
He planned to find the Blue Flame Divine Bird first, and the most likely reason for the Blue Flame Divine Bird was to stay in Xiling.
It took the two of them two months to get from Zhongjun to Xiling Yuanzhou.
The familiar land came into view, and Li An's heart was filled with emotion. After decades of separation, he is now back!
However, he was imprisoned when he left, and he was free when he returned!
"How about we first inquire about the news in this Dali capital for a while?" Lin Fangping spoke, and the two landed immediately.
The Dali capital is still the same, but the ruler of this land has changed. Now Xiling Yuanzhou in the Diyuan Realm is ruled by the "New Dao League" of the Yuanling Realm!
In fact, because Shangguan Shengxian's battle that year killed most of the Yuanying cultivators in the Emperor Yuan Realm, the strength of the Emperor Yuan Realm after entering the Spirit Realm was far inferior to that of other great realms, and it was constantly divided and annexed.
The New Dao League is one of the most powerful forces in Xinzhou in recent years. It is composed of powerful forces in the Yuanling Realm and has also absorbed many major forces in other states.
The Blood Yuan Sect, Taiyi Sect and other forces in Xiling Yuanzhou in the Emperor Yuan Realm have basically been annexed.
"Daoyou, in my opinion, our current priority is to establish a force belonging to the two of us, so that we can get support and develop..."
Lin Fangping spoke.
Li An nodded and said, "That's good."
The two of them did what they said, and started looking for a suitable location in Dali that day. Finally, after selection, the two chose the most suitable location, which turned out to be... the former site of Xuanyang Sect.
In the past, the spiritual vein of Xuanyang Sect was broken and destroyed, but now after entering the spiritual world, under the influence of the power of heaven and earth, the spiritual vein is slowly recovering. It is estimated that in a few years, the third-level spiritual vein will be restored. At present, there are only one or two foundation-building families.
"These two small families can just serve as the team for our entrepreneurship..."
Lin Fangping was very satisfied. Li An and he went directly. Under the pressure of the two true dan masters, the two small families surrendered directly without any suspense.
Lin Fangping suggested that this sect be named "Qiyin Sect". Li An had no objection, but he couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
The two words Qiyin are nothing to other forces, but the Demon Cult will definitely pay attention to it... It seems that Lin Fangping's purpose of coming to Xinzhou is probably to find the Demon Cult and join the Demon Cult...
Tsk.
The two of them founded the sect. Lin Fangping was sensible and asked Li An to be the sect leader and he to be the chief elder. Lin Fangping had once reached the early stage of the Nascent Soul, but because of the matter of the Seven Yang Spirit Body, he had harmed two spirit girls, so he was expelled from the sect by the Dao Sect, abolished his Nascent Soul, and fell to the early stage of the True Dan. He also had hidden injuries, so now it was the best choice to take shelter under Li An.
Li An did not refuse.
The Seven Yin Sect cleaned up the original site of the Xuan Yang Sect. During this period, Li An also went to Lingzhi Mountain.
Revisiting the old place, the old people were gone, but Li An was already at the peak that everyone had to look up to in the past. He became the sect leader of the Seven Yin Sect and became a "True Dan Great Cultivator".
The traces of the two lonely graves are already difficult to distinguish. The graves are naturally flat after a hundred years. Li An has been away from the Xuan Yang Sect for hundreds of years. The weeds cover everything, as if the two humble and pitiful immortal seekers have never existed.
A person's life is a hundred years, and cultivating immortals is even longer, but for the endless years, what is the difference between them and the ants that die every day?
Who else in this world would remember the existence of these two people except Li An?
Everything about their existence, their parents and relatives, their grievances and hatreds, were buried gently in the years, and then rotted and disappeared.
Perhaps after a while, even Li An would completely forget these two people.
In the history of later generations, there are only some isolated and fragmentary books, and perhaps one or two sentences will be mentioned, such as when the Dali clan died, and that's all.
One sentence is the life of many people.
"I just want to live long and see, live, live forever."
Li An whispered.
He walked past the grave gently without stopping.
...
Although Li An is the master of the sect, he basically doesn't care about anything. He goes into seclusion directly and leaves the sect to Lin Fangping.
Creating a sect? He has no interest at all. He had run a cultivation family in his previous life.
Doing this is still just a casual move.
Li An felt that Lin Fangping would definitely join the Demon Sect sooner or later!
…
In the blink of an eye, five years passed.
During these five years, Li An was in seclusion while silently refining the various essences in his body to restore his body!
After all, he destroyed his Dantian Jindan by himself that year. Although it was not a fatal injury, it would take time to recover.
Under the nourishment of those strong essences, his Dantian and Jindan were finally fully restored and in the perfect state of Jindan. Moreover, even the Purple Mansion has been completely formed, and there are thousands of rays of light in the Purple Mansion.
He can attack the Nascent Soul at any time!
In the past five years, he has also been paying attention to Lin Fangping. As he expected, Lin Fangping married a wife and concubines in the sect while secretly looking for the traces of the Demon Sect.
His only hope now is the Demon Sect!
Li An decided to help him. On the day of leaving retreat, Lin Fangping brought the elites of the sect to pay a visit. Li An was very happy to see that the sect was developing in an orderly manner, so he took out some pills and gave them to everyone.
Among them, there were several pretty female disciples and elders who got pills that were actually refined by him using the life-nourishing immortality-casting technique to drive the Gu technique!
Human Gu technique!
Human Gu technique is very complicated. It can refine a living person into poison Gu, medicine Gu, love Gu, etc., but it requires a lot of rare materials to assist. Although Li An used this technique with infinite power when he played the Heavenly Dao Realm, in reality, it is extremely difficult for him to achieve that level.
What he can do now is the lowest level of blood Gu. This Gu technique is relatively simple. It uses a drop of his own blood as a primer and carefully cultivates it with Gu technique. After these women take it, this drop of blood will enter their bodies and produce bloodworms in their bodies, swallowing their blood clean!
Li An's target is not these women, but Lin Fangping.
These people are all related to Lin Fangping. Li An will arrange for Lin Fangping to accidentally obtain the Yin-Yang Magic Furnace in the future. At that time, Lin Fangping will definitely practice from these women, and the blood Gu hidden by Li An with the breath of life will enter Lin Fangping's body.
But in fact, this kind of blood Gu is relatively low-level and not very powerful, because as a high-level cultivator, there are too many ways to purify blood.
But Li An is not in a hurry. He will put the Gu first. Anyway, he will cover it with the breath of life, and these blood Gu will not take effect immediately. When he puts hundreds of kinds of Gu on Lin Fangping in the future, the high-level and low-level ones will cooperate... I am not afraid that Lin Fangping will not be obedient.
He carefully selected the gifts he would give to the Demon Cult in the future, and he must not be careless!
Although the other party may not necessarily discover and accept this gift in ten or eight years or even hundreds of years, Li An has plenty of patience.
To deal with Shangguan Shengxian, you must be patient!
In fact, Li An dared to do this because he found that with the Life-Nourishing Immortal-Forging Technique, his practice of Gu Shu was like being assisted by God, because generally speaking, Gu worms have a time limit. Ordinary blood Gu will inevitably break out if it enters the human body for no more than a month. However, Li An used the breath of life to suppress the blood Gu. As long as he did not stimulate it, it would not break out.
Among Gu Shu, only some extremely advanced Gu Shu can do this!
It is for this reason that Li An dared to set up a game that might be useful only after hundreds or thousands of years, and put a chess piece that would only be effective after a long time...
...
After the pills were distributed, the great elder Lin Fangping said respectfully:
"Master, I got a message. There has been some movement in the Xiling Secret Realm recently. It seems that some divine bird has been born, with thousands of brilliant lights and flames all over the sky. It is very likely to have a sixth-level bloodline. Now, even the New Dao League has rushed over. Should we go?"
Li An was immediately delighted!
Thousands of brilliant lights, flames filling the sky, sixth-order bloodline... If Li An guessed correctly, it should be the appearance of the Blue Flame Divine Bird!
...
